Orange Crush 35RT Guitar Combo Amplifier

Forget any preconceived notions of practice amps. Made in Orange's state-of-the-art factory, the Crush range sets a higher standard for quality, introducing players of all levels to the essence of Orange.

For 2015, the Crush series has been completely overhauled. Orange's mission was to not to reinvent the wheel, but to buck the trend -- you won't find any sterile digital amp modelling here. Building on the huge success of their critically acclaimed Crush Pro models, they've introduced the same high gain, 4 stage preamp design into the Crush range.

This means responsive overdrive and detailed levels of saturation never before heard in a practice amplifier. Powerful analogue circuits create amps with 'gut punch' tones which react like their bigger brothers in the Orange family, whilst their CabSim feature faithfully emulates the muscle of an Orange 4x12" cabinet through the headphone output.

The Crush 35RT brings the legendary Orange sound to the rehearsal room. Sharing the Crush 20RT's twin channel design, digital reverb, chromatic tuner and CabSim, the Crush 35RT's larger size and bigger output section delivers even greater punch and volume. Complete with a transparent, fully buffered effects loop this amp goes way beyond the call of the traditional 'practice' amplifier.Guitar Expert Justin demonstrates the big sound you can get out of the overhauled Orange Crush 35RT:

Overall:
From sparkling cleans to thumping lows, the 35rt impressed me. I use it mostly for rock/metal and it's 4 stage gain suits that. It's got a 10 inch speaker but it sounds much larger than that. Others have said that the amp is voiced dark and I suppose I'd agree with that but honestly, I prefer that.
On top of all that, it behaves a bit like a tube amp does. It's very responsive to my pick attack and has a very complex sound. If you crank the gain and hit a G chord, you'll hear every bit of that note...every string will come through, nothing muds up and turns into mush. Very impressive.
Just buy this thing, it's the perfect practice amp and can keep up with a drummer if that is the only person you're playing with. Otherwise, mic it and you can play anywhere and in any situation.
Orange has created a winner with this one!

"WOW"

Overall:
when I first tried learning guitar as a teenager I had no idea where to begin, which ultimately lead me to quitting. I also had a cheap amp that didn't do anything, which didn't even give me anything fun to do just as a noisemaker. now 20 years later and I'm learning the instrument properly, and now I have an amp that out of the box can produce most of the sounds I have always wanted to play with, all with only a handful of simple controls. this thing ROCKS! and it really cranks too. I think I can pretty much knock overdrive and distortion pedals off my want-list, cause the gain on this thing has me covered there. since starting to learn I've compiled a books of about sixty of my favorite songs from genres ranging from classic rock, to folk, to punk , to alternative, to metal, to R&B, and I can easily find a tone on this that is perfectly suited to anything in there (save perhaps some that works best on acoustics). it's easy to use, does everything I hoped it would and more, solid as a rock, looks cool, and it smells like a new car.
